SuoSHoNE JOURNAL: In conversa-
ton with Senator Williams of Cali
fornia, and representative Woodburn
of Nevada, the writer was informed
that each had favored the seggrega-
ton of Idaho aud the Nevada annex
alton scheme. Yet we found IN our
visit to various points in Nevada last
week that much of the sentiment III
Nevada was only passive on this
quest on and that Reno, Carson City,
the capital, and in Virginia City, there
was all active outspoken opposition
arising against Senator Stewards an.
nexation project. Some of this is OIL
personal and political grounds, ant
some of it is based upon local inter
ests. In other words, Carson, thu
capital city and its surroundings, are
actively working against it because i
will certainly remove the capita
from that section to some point cas-
or north of Elko, the moment ldah'
and northern Utah are consolidated
into the new State. Ogden is en-
thusiastic over the opportunity it see
to secure the capital and that woul'
antagonlze western and southern
Nevada. The EIko & Idaho Cen

How THE INDIANS WE'RE Dv
cEIvED.-An amusing incident, which
resulted quite fatally to poor dog.
is said to have occurred at an Indian
wlgwam near this city the other day
between Prof. Macallister, the maei-
cian and the noble redskins. The
Indians had small dog that the Pro.
tessor took quite fancy to, and he
made himself quite familiar with the
brute by patting and petting him.
He asked the Indians how much thew
would take for him; to which they
replied they did not want to sell HIM
The Professor said: "H,m very val
liable dog" at the same time rubbing
him down the back to his tail length,
at each stroke taking a handful of
money from the end of his tail, also
from his mouth, ears and nose. AT
these strange proceedings the Indians
stood in awe and astonishment. At
ter the Professor left their premises,
they took the dog down to the river
brink, where the poor brute was
doomed to die an ignominious death.
There they killed and dissected him
with the idea that they would reap
from his carcass plenty of "boodle.

MURRAY, the man who shot his wife
at Shoshone the other day, was cap
tured at Owilza, station twenty or
thirty miles east OF Shoshone, by Jer-
ry Kinney, brother of Sheriff Kin
ney. The Journal says: "He went
into the pump house Thursday night,
and being exhausted went 10 sleep,
and was arrested about 6 o'clock Fri
day morning. He waived examina-
ton before Justice Mcpherson and
was bound over in the sum of $4,000,
and was taken to HALEY Saturday
morning. He claims that he did the
shooting in a fit of insanity. 1t is
the general opinion in Shoshone chat
such fits of insanity should be chokcd
off as speedily as possible, and quite
likely it would have been done had
he been captured Wednesday even
lng."

A Cn1SAMAS living on the other
side of Elk creek, three or four hun
dred yards from town met with an
accident last Tuesday in a way
that is very uncommon. He was
sranding in his doorway, smoking his
pipe of peace, and apparently as Sc
cure from any kind of an accident as
tits possible, under any circumstances,
for man to be. The first warning
he had of danger was the sing of a
bullet for second, and then "zi ip!'
it struck him in the shoulder, but
having lost a great part of its force,
in the long distance of its aerial
journey, struck the shoulder bone,
bounded out, and dropped at the
Chinaman's feet. The ball struck
sideways. The Celestial didn't hear
the report of the tirearm from whence
the bullet came, and is positive that
the report could not have been heard
by anyone standing where he stood,
and is certain that if he had heard
the gun, without it attracting his at
tention particularly, the accident
would have caused his recollection,
which was at the time half asleep in
the background, (while his thoughts
were probably romping around in the
Flowery Kingdom amid the scenes of
his hoyhood) to have aroused with
still dim Impression, SO to speak, OF
the voice of the shooting iron. He
didn't express it in the exact language
given above, but in words to the
same effect, and more concisely.
He said: suppose gun go bang

connection with the Central Pacific
r. r. Parties who have recently
examined the c. & N. w. plats and
maps, in the camp of the surveying
party now working southwest down
the Bear River valley, state that the
line of that road will pass near Logan
and thence to Corrinne, Ogden and
Salt Lake. From the Bear River to
Shcshone Falls and the Snake River
valley is almost straight line west
through fertile country and along
easy grades. Il is the shortest line
into Central Idaho. A very inter
esting scientific discussion took place
tho other day during the stock meet
ing, between those well known agri-
culturalists, VIM. Burke, of Salt Lake
and G. w. Wernicke, of this city.
The former maintained with a great
array of learning, that in this mild
Italian climate, the sweet potato
could be grated OH to the sage brush,
but the latter was sure the common
wood tick was more liable to he a
success when budded on fisherman 1

~eJ 20 ocouIeu, tne peO-
pie OF Ada county generally, and OF
the capital in particular, are jubilant.
The completion of the branch road.
and lrrigating canals on which work
has already begun, and Others in con-
temptation that will be put through
in course of time, will add immensely
to the thrift of Ada county, and her
population will increase wonderfulI,.
The thousands Of acres OF bench land
that irrigation will make productive,
and the yield Of which, per acre, can
not be surpassed, probably, anywhere
IN Idaho, will be dotted with habita-
tlons, and in few years Ada county
will make All increase in wealth and
population that twill astonish the
natives" The new blooming era
will be brought about almost wholly
by the "carpet-baggers," or ''Johnny-
come-latelies,' as the "mossbacks,
have derisively dubbed them. In
fact great deal of the prosperity of
Idaho during the past few years has
been due to the great influx of "John-
ny-come-latelies." A certain class of
the old-timers affect to despise the
newcomer. This is all wrong. The
pioneers endured the hardships incl
dent to opening up new country,
and paved the way for those to come
after them, and deserve praise for
what they have accomplished; but
to speak sneeringly Of the conner
is in bad taste. 1t is when the latter
claims equal rights politically that
eplthets are hurled at him, expressive
OF the old-tllner's contempt for the
aspirations of the newcomer, a con-
tempt born of the false notion that
the pioneer alone is competent to run
the political machinery of the Terri
tory, and that the right to rule in po.
litcal affairs is his ex ;lusively earned
solely by long residence. The new.
comers are in the majority, and wher
the old-timer howls carpet-bagger to
weaken his opponent he courts dis.
astrous defeat unwiteingly. 1t turns
newcomers against him, and then his
political doom is sealed. By claiming
more than equal rights on the strength
of long residence, the old-timer, in.
stead OF getting even all equal share
of political prefeIment, will be shut
out altogether 1t is time to let up
on the use of the term "carpet bag
ger" Give the carpet-bagger cor
dial welcome. We need him in our
business of building up the interests
of "the Gem of the Mountains" and
developing her resources. The pio-
necrs have done grand and hei oic
work, but that is no reason why he
should cry down the aspirations OF
those who have come since the sixties.
Length of residence is not, and shou d
not be, the sole and only qualification
to be considered in matters political
and otherwise. The newcomers are
doing good work in almost every
section of Idaho, and there is still
room for many mere of them. The
progressive portion of the old timers
rejoice to see them come.

DEMoCRAT:-Jas. Scadden, who
lied the other day at Banner, uttered
a beautiful and touching sentence as
a parting injunction to a brother,
who was present. They were his
last words on earth, and were these:
take good care of the old folks at
home." His parents are in England.
Jim's last words will mellow the grief
of his poor old father and mother,
when the mournful tidings of their
boys death are waited across the
ocean. "Take good care of the old
folks at home!' What poem, or
song, could be weaved Out of that filial
and expressive sentence? He wan
dered back to the old homestead and
bright visions of childhood fitted
through his feverish mind; and his
dying dreams were made seraphic by
a loved mothers fond kiss. A noble
heart beat under the rough mining
garb of Jim Scadden.

THIS burg, and all the towns o. the
county, would be benefited, in the
way Of beautifying their appearances,
by general observance OF the
spirit and objects Of Arbor Day,
which was made legal holiday ny
an act of the last Legislature. Boise
county is beautifully clothed with the
finest timber, pine, fir, ETC., to be
found in Idaho, but her towns are
sadly lacking in that feature-shade
trees-without which any town or
city, no matter how handsome in 9TH
er respects, presents barren, dry,
and uninviting appearance. Nothing
adds SO much to the delightful ap-
pearance of town, as well as to the
comfort of its inhabitants, in the heat
OF summer, as handsome shade trees.
Two business houses in this burg, the
Luna house and Orchards Restaurant,
have full grown trees in front, which
adds more than little to the inviting
appearance of these places. II
Arbor Day WAS strictly observ-
ed, throughout the county, and with
unanimous spirit, in few years the
result would be beautifully charming
1t would be like causing "the desert
to blossom as the rose"
